Also, would mind divulging the dip cost?
I am not sure of how much the car is lowered exactly. I am on KW v2 coilovers. They are on the lowest possible setting and I have also removed the adjustment ring from the front coilovers and the adjustment collar from the rear coilovers so probably 2.5"-2.75". My fenders have been rolled front and rear. I'll warn anyone looking to go this low though........be prepared for alot of rubbing issues. I'm running a very aggressive setup in the rear and even after the roll and doing some hammering on the fender lips a bit it still rubs on big bumps and under full throttle. I'm still working on a solution for this. The fronts rub pretty bad under full look and the corner where my bumper meets my fender is basically a credit card distance to the edge of the tire so my tires tug on that quite often too. But this is all pretty normal stuff to me having driven a hammered Miata for the last 4 years. Although Miata's are considerably easier to go low with.
The dip ran me $700, although it's less for a more basic color. My color consists ot two "dip pearls" which upped the cost considerably. Most places that dip cars will charge you $500-$600 for a more basic finish. But once you start factoring in pearls, glossifiers, etc etc the cost will go up accordingly.
